Halo 3 Site List

I was a little late buying Halo 3… If I could have, I wouldn’t have had it the day of release. Of course as you age, have children, and a full-time job – buying Halo 3 drops down in your list of priorities (just a little).

Below is a list of sites that are really good for hints, tips, walk-throughs, or just for reference-sake As always, if you know of a site not listed, please let me know.

Halo 3 – Official Site
Bungie.net – Another official site – check online stats
Halowik.net – This site has it all… very good reference site.
Mjolnir Tactics – Very nicely laid out and good strategies
Grunts R Us – Good bit of information, decent forum, and news updated daily.
The Final Fight – Also has Halo and Halo 2 information
Halo 3 Basics – Good information regarding the mult-player aspect of Halo 3
Halo 3 Custom Map Finder – Find multi-player games without being logged into Xbox Live
Halo 3 Spot – Halo 3 Blog
Tactical Breakdown of Halo 3 Maps - video with what it says
Pro Halo League – Are you good enough? Sign up and win money in tournaments
Halo Forever – Good set of tips here
Halo.Bungie.Org – News Site and other information
Planet Halo – Gamespy’s Halo Site
Halo 3 Comedy – Classic in-game moments
Games Radar Halo Coverage

Here’s my profile on Bungie.Net. I’m not sure on the frequency of update because I am no longer the rank it says I am. I’m actually two ranks higher than it displays, as of this edit.  Feel free to add me as a friend!

Fun Little Flash Game

If you enjoy turn-based, multi-player games, the following game is pretty fun.  It is called Castle Wars.  The object of the game is to either build your castle to 100 units or destroy your opponent’s castle.  You can attempt a quick victory or build up your resources and take a more safe path.  This is a card-based game and you have the ability to edit your deck before the game.  It took me four or five games to get a good feel for it.  I play under the name of jaymar, if you happen to be only… challenge me

Stair Fall

This is fun little “game” where you pick up a stick figure and throw him down a flight of stairs trying to inflict the most damage possible. Sounds brutal – but it is a good time.

Tip – Raise the stick figure as far in the air as you can (even beyond the top of the screen) then with a swift downward movement, throw him down. It’s a beautiful thing!

Play it here

Fun & Unique Games

These are not your ordinary run-of-the-mill online games. Please let me know of others like this. Please do not send links to ones hosted at candystand, kongregate, addictinggames, etc. They have some great games, no doubt – but, I’d like to include games not yet played by the masses.

• Stackopolis – Addictive block stacking to creature structures and building in a certain amount of time
• WeeWar – Multiplayer, turn-based war game
• World of Solitaire – Not different by any means but it is unique in the way it is implemented without using Java or Flash
• Online Etch a Sketch – A classic
• Rubik’s Online Virtual Cube
• Line Rider – Just Plain Fun
• Urban Dead – Web-based game – fight zombies or play as a zombie

More coming soon – I’m tired
